Who Knows Or Cares
February 12, 2020
Who knows or cares
What happens across the world
Shrouded in despair.
All should know, all should care
Cause what happens elsewhere
Will eventually be here.
We need to care

Cursed Snow
February 11, 2020
Cursed snow falls
Blanketing life with a dirty white
Melting in spring revealing
No more than everything
Cursed snow.
Cursed snow blows
Filling all nooks and crannies
Whistling round corners
Blowing white, blowing blind
Cursed snow.

Oh My Heart, My Heart
February 10, 2020
When the world fell apart
I was filled with despair
Crying
Oh my heart, my heart
No other saw or moved
To employ saving grace
All was destroyed
Oh my heart, my heart.
Then the sun shone
The rains came
My heart heard
A sweet, sweet refrain
Crowds rejoiced, laughed
Coming close to heaven
And my heart sang
Oh my heart, my heart
Once again.

The Caged Bird
February 7, 2020
The caged bird flies
Deep into brilliant
Blue, blue skies.
The caged bird cries
Songs of lilting love
Her sweet voice sings
Of beauty, freedom
All things.
The caged bird dies
In the midst of bars holding
Holding her in.
No soaring in blue skies
Nor lilting love songs sung
For this was only a dream
Dreamt in
A dark night long.

Being Sensible
February 3, 2020
Being sensible
is sometimes a gift
no heartfelt intuition
can make the necessary shift
relying on the ego
memorizing the words
doesn’t help
for being sensible
just sometimes
is a gift.

I Won’t Say Those Words
January 28, 2020
I won’t say those words
That may save the day
Not because I don’t want to
No
Because I don’t need to
For salvation is on its way.
It’ll be here,
Sometime
Sometime today.

The World Spins
January 27, 2020
The world spins
revolves around
taking lives on a journey
the world beyond.
Grass grows, birds fly
rain drops
and sometimes
lovers must say goodbye.
The world is ours
We make it what we can
happy or sad, we live our lives
as the world revolves round
once again.

Lost
January 23, 2020
Forbidden virtues
Hidden, lost
Make my life
Chaos
No reprimand
No solicitous time
Just lost
Lost.
Maybe tomorrow
The sun will shine
Maybe then I’ll see
The light
The reason so sublime
All will be ok
Right
In my not tortured mind.

Holy Are The Thoughts
January 22, 2020
Holy are The thoughts
that pass my mind
of the wonders before me
in the woods, the trees
nature, so sublime.
Don’t let me forget
these thoughts over time
let me hold them
here in my heart
til the end, end of time.
